Répondez S'il Vous Plait

An RSVP is a request to respond to an invitation and here at Invitation Warehouse, we’d like to think we know a little something about invitations.  But on a personal note, have you carefully considered the invitations and request to responds you send or accept in your own?  Think about this;

If someone INVITES you to partake in foolishness, don't RSVP!

If someone INVITES you to an argument, simply "decline with no regrets".

When you're INVITED to a gossip party

will you "accept with pleasure" or "decline with no regrets"?

When you're INVITED to RESPOND to criticism, simply "decline with no regrets".

If you're INVITED to RSVP to someone else's bitterness and 

they ask you to give names, simply "decline with no regrets".

Even if you don't have the time, if you're INVITED to share in someone

else's good news, be sure to "ACCEPT WITH PLEASURE".

Be mindful of those you INVITE into your life because they may

'decline you with regrets’.

and remember…

An INVITATION is a formal entrance into your world.

View it as precious and INVITE only those that have proved worthy.

Church Anniversary Formal Invites

Church anniversaries are important.  With the different committees and guest churches, it’s always of utmost importance to make the event grand.  Especially to show your Pastor and First Lady how much you appreciate their service.

One way to make the event grand is to purchase our embossed Anniversary Invitations with translucent overlays, tasteful appliqués and unique type formats.  Sending a formal invitation to the guest churches, as opposed to a traditional letter, is a great way to add class and elegance to the event.  It may also sets a level of expectation for how the guest churches will show their financial appreciation for your Pastor and First Lady.

Because most orders require a minimum of 25 invites, why not send the remaining invitations to your Pastors special friends and out of town guests?  And because we, at Invitation Warehouse, support our church community, take advantage of our 30% discount at the time of your purchase on selected invitations*. 

Make this year’s church and/or Pastor’s Anniversary a grand affair! Click here to get started.

Please note: When you visit our site, click ANNIVERSARY INVITATIONS.  Once you’ve made your selection, be advised that you can word them any way you choose.  You may want to take a look at our WEDDING INVITATIONS as there is a wider selection; remembering the aforementioned.

Last Step of the Save-The-Dates!

Hey there Mr. Thoughtful!  Boy come over here and give ya girl some dap! UUMP! That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout.  Let’s get this save-the-date thing behind you!  If you've forgotten, we're now ready to write the verses for your save-the-date announcement.  Click here to get started. 

You’ll notice there’s 4 lines. 

Line 1 - Is for the date of your wedding.  You do have a date don’t you? Just kidding.  Enter that date. 

Line 2 – Feel free to leave that blank unless you’ve really thought about what you want to say.  If you haven’t, then dude - leave it blank. 

Line 3 – Enter YOUR name first, then your brides.  Yes, I know it says BRIDES NAME first, but she’s marrying YOU, YOU'RE giving her YOUR name, and you are the man of the household, the leader, the big dawg, the head…you know what I mean.  Put your name FIRST because when you’re married, it’s not going to me Mrs. and Mr. – right? 

Line 4 – You can say ‘A formal invite to come’ or you can leave it blank. 

So the last step is to upload a few pics.  If you’re purchasing one that doesn’t require a picture, you’re done.   But if you do, then you’ll definitely want to upload only the pictures where you have HEARD with your OWN EARS that your bride-to-be actually likes the photos you’re about to select.  Because if you select some whack pics – dude?! It’s gonna get ugly.  So again, I repeat – only upload the pictures that you know she likes.

Did you do it?  Good.  Now if you want a proof, click that last option if not – keep it moving.  Oh, what’s a proof?  It’s a sample of how the Save-The-Date will look.

You did it Captain Thoughtful! You completed your very own Save-The-Date!  You go boy!  Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook to let us know how it turned out!

Man Fonts

Back again?  Boy I gotta tell ya…I’m really feelin’ you right now.  I mean you’ve actually read four days of a Couples Blog?  Dude, you’re really in love!  Give me some dap!  So click here to get back to our website. Do you remember the one you selected from last week?  Good, click that!

So now that you know the QUANTITY, the next step is the LETTERING.  For time sake, click the VIEW ALL LETTERING link.  This will show you the font type that’ll be on your save-the-date.

So I know you’re not going to want to spend a whole lotta time with this but here’s some things you need to consider.  Are the people you’re sending them too bougie; I mean bourgeois? If so, you may want an italic or cursive font.  If not and they’re laid back, them do something plain.  To be on the safe side and since you probably are doing this without your fiancée’s help, avoid anything too shrilly and curly; you know – feminine lookin’ and remember keep it simple!

Did you select one?  Whew!  That was hard work boy but good job! Take a rest and turn on ESPN.  After all that, you need a break because the next step is the verses and that’s a doocy – get it?  Mike Doocy who does the sports in Dallas.  SMH. Until next time…

How Many Save-The-Dates Will You Need?

So Mr. Groom, I see you’re well rested.  I know you’ve thought and even prayed about it.  Did you pray?  Really…because…really you should! So are you really ready to make this investment into your ‘Thoughtful Account’?  Aaaww!  You’re so sweet!  Let’s get started! 

So go back to our website, ‘invitationwarehouse.com’ and click ‘save the date’. Scroll through the selection and see if there’s anything that YOU like.  Yep I said – YOU.  This is YOUR project so it’s going to be according to YOUR taste. Don’t rush!  Take a few minutes.  You ready?  Good.

Did you see one that YOU like? Click it and let me walk you through it.  You see where it says ‘QUANTITY’, click the 'NUMBER' you’ll need.

Breathe man…breathe!  I know the price seems a little steep but before you change your mind, let me say this -  ‘You don’t have to purchase a save-the-date for the number of guests on your list.’  Naw man!  You just need to get enough for the people you know will need a heads-up and may need a little time to adjust their schedule.  So that means you’ll need to go through your list from our ‘The Grooms List’ post (click here to view) and put a star besides those that fall under that criteria. 

Wow!  I’m sensing a sigh of relief!  You were really about to verbally abuse me – weren’t you?  Yeah I know!  So on that note, we’ll pause for now, give you time to regroup and redo your list and we'll see you back here next week!
